This group got everything out of themselves that they could. (William Fleming) was well coached and very athletic and you have to give them credit but we battled them to the end. |
This is a girl whose parents are living 300 miles away. Her time-management skills are excellent. She holds down a job, she does rehab, she maintains a 4.0 GPA in school. |
To treat a poor wretch with a bottle of Burgundy, and fill his snuff-box, is like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back. |
We did have a guy last year, Jonas Jacobson ['05], who won a top attorney award at the national championship, which is pretty sweet. |
We do have four or five people waiting on the sideline who want to buy it, |
We don't necessarily have the same time to commit to it as [larger programs do], but we can still try to make it up in the trial with a little ingenuity, and we're pretty happy with how we stacked up. |
We give up a lot of inches and pounds, and it's hard to make up the difference. |
We had a somewhat limited budget and the person I got (Anderson and Jeffries) felt there was a little bit of a weight difference. It's not my job to twist their arm and make them take the fight. They weren't happy. I'd looked high and low and been all over place and when I finally found someone, they didn't want to fight. |
We invest millions of dollars assuming the rules will stay the same. |
We jumped on them early with our press, forced turnovers and turned them into easy baskets. We got the big lead on them early and weathered the storm. |
We just hit our shots and they didn't. |
We made the best of a bad situation. We were able to protect most of our people, given the circumstances. |
We never thought about having a national record, and now that we have it, it's weird. I honestly don't think it will ever be broken. |
We were off tonight. You have to credit Saxony's defense, though. They played us tough. |
We'll never forget it. The gym was packed; it was homecoming. It's something you dream about, something special. I don't know how you can beat that. |
